Chapter 35
The Sweet Pink Berry and the Golden Speck
Year 1 of the Rainbow Era, Spring Late Afternoon
Chloe and her friends play a sweet game with a tiny golden beetle on the green moss, watching the little bug tap a pink petal boat to say thank you.
Chloe sits down on the soft green moss under the big fern leaf. The warm golden sunbeam makes her long pink hair shine bright. She pulls out a sweet pink sugar berry from her small berry basket. She gives half to Blossom and half to Pip. They eat the sweet fruit together and smile big, happy smiles. The juice is sweet and good. Pip eats his sweet pink berry very fast. A little pink juice gets right on the end of his nose. Chloe points and giggles. Blossom waves her sparkly wand and makes a tiny puff of sweet-smelling air that tickles Pip's nose. Pip laughs and rubs his nose with his green sleeve.
The tiny golden beetle crawls close to the friends on the moss. It walks up the small safe berry basket under the fern. It leaves a tiny speck of bright yellow pollen that shines like a star. Chloe smiles big and claps her hands at the pretty magic speck. The little bug wiggles its feelers and stays close by as the warm afternoon air fills with soft magic.
